New talking point trotted out today. I've heard it twice. This is Obama's economy

Bush is gone--after 8 months, it is Obama's. Obama has to take responsibility for it:crazy:
But they will say it over and over and over and over until it starts sticking.
I'm so tired of the fucking lies.

3. This is in response to the polls.

They think that the tide has turned somehow. Boo hoo, the president is down to a 61% approval rating.

10. Oh really?

So that means 9/11 wasn't REALLY a Clinton Fail and the Great Bush Economic Crash wasn't REALLY a Clinton-Policy Fail either?

Thanks! I'll remember that talking point!

12. It's also his war. And everything else they can spin his way.

So predictable, wasn't it?

13. Last time I checked, Obama isn't up for re-election for another 3 and half years.

It doesn't really matter if 90% of the electorate believes this moronic talking point.

When it's time for Americans to cast judgment on his performance in 2012 it will be his economy and to the degree he does a good job, it will be better.

14. Regardless of who's fault it is

and Bush undoubtably started us down this path we are falling into an abyss and I wish something could be done before I lose everything I have worked for all my life. And I now that I am being selfish but this economy is destroying me.

15. It IS his economy..

... he had the chance to do the right thing and he decided to hire insiders whose only goal is to bail out the bad actors, at everyone else's expense.

He will be a one-term president, I hope he enjoys his stay.

I still feel hopeful when I hear him speak, he says all the right things.

It's just that so far he's DONE only a few right things. Too bad.

16. It is.

The buck stops here. His policies will make things better, worse, or not change anything. The policies are already effecting the economy.
